Money Monster - 2½ Stars. The financial cable show, hosted by George Clooney & produced by Julia Roberts gets taken over by a gunman demanding answers from Wall Street. Tense and fun to watch, but never feels plausible.

Maggie's Plan - 2½ Stars. Greta Gerwig falls for Ethan Hawke, who leaves his wife Julianne Moore. Once together, Greta hatches a plan to give him back. Great plot, but talky and not as precious as it thinks.

The Boss - 2 Stars. Melissa McCarthy creates an outrageous Donald Trump-like business woman, who lands in jail for insider trading. The first half is a guilty pleasure, but the ending runs out of gas.

Best New Opening> Genius - 2 Stars. Turns out Thomas Wolfe was a jerk, as portrayed in this talky movie about writing.

X-Men: Apocalypse- 2 Stars. Tiresome episode of a worn out series, set in the 80's this time. Argh.
